I haven't been to Thursday night meditation since my silent retreat. I have nothing to say to Roshi, and don't quite have the energy to go over there and tell him I have nothing to say. Have never done that, though we are advised to do so.
Am also holding my breath lest the demon of contempt arise again now that I am visiting a church so I can have communion every Sunday. The demon wants to arise because the wonderful Vicar is leaving, and I have a pretty good idea why, and what will follow.
It seems impossible to attend church without attachment. And I cannot motivate myself to meditation without attachment. I feel back to square one today.
